Take the ridiculous and __4__ (mean) rule of never ending a sentence

with a preposition. The lovely - if famous – story goes, that Winston Churchill,

well-known for his numerous __5__ (write) as well as for being British Prime
Minister during the Second World War, received a manuscript back from an
ignorant __6__ (edit), who had told him rather rudely that he had to __7__
(phrase) a sentence which ended with a preposition. Churchill responded by
making the simple yet forceful __8__ (state) in the margin: “This is an

impertinence up with which I will not put.” – the __9__ (imply) being that not
to end a sentence with a preposition often sounds ridiculous in English, Sadly,
Allen informs us that the story is probably mere __10__ (hear), and that

Churchill may have actually only written “rubbish!” in the margin.

<b>C. READING </b>

<b>PART VIII. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the </b>
<b>questions </b>

Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the
effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb

the Sun's rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of

maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature
deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert

mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and
temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles. The
overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may
fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage
since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an
excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day. Another strategy of large desert
animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=6>

rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of water
loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole
but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have
the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in
people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.

1. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. Weather variations in the desert B. Adaptations of desert animals
C. Diseased of desert animals D. Human use of desert animals.

2. According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?
A. It helps them hide from predators.

B. It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors.
C. It helps them see their young at night

D. It keeps them cool at night.

3. The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. measuring B. inheriting C. preserving D. delaying

4. The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of ___________.
A. an animal with a low average temperature

B. an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel

C. a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures
D. a desert animal with a constant body temperature

5. When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?
A. Just before sunrise B. In the middle of the day

C. Just after sunset D. Just after drinking

6. The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. endure B. replace C. compensate D. reduce

7. What causes water intoxication?

A. Drinking too much water very quickly B. Drinking polluted water
C. Bacteria in water D. Lack of water.

8. What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?

A. They do not need to eat much food. B. They can eat large quantities quickly

C. They easily lose their appetites. D. They can travel long distances looking for food.
9. Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?

A. To show how they use camels. B. To contrast them to desert mammals.

C. To give instructions about desert survival. D. To show how they have adapted to desert life.

dictionary frequently, it is worth remembering that every dictionary has its (4)______. Each
definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a
word only after meeting it in a (5)______ of contexts. It is also important to recognize the
special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice

to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You

efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (9)______ a number of possible

problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought likely.

<b>MOBILE PHONES: Are they about to transform our lives? </b>

We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are

increasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey
our most intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them
more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements
saying we need more advanced services. Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel
about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone
masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be
entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about
users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere
practical communication tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love affairs to
friendship to work. The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among
teenagers, the report says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is
partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers
suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging is seen as a way of

overcoming shyness. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global,

supporting existing friendship and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader

It was an English period and all of us are waited eagerly for our
English teacher, Mrs. Hoa. She is very popular among us. In fact,
she is a my favourite teacher.

Mrs. Hoa has a short curly hair and wears thick glasses, which makes
her to look strict. However, she is usually very close and is always
ready to lend an ear to our problems. She is motherly and cares very
much for us. I remember once when I fell and hurt my knees. Mrs.

Hoa had helped me to stop the bleeding and took me to the clinic.
I used to dislike English when I was younger because I found it very
too complicated. Mrs. Hoa always makes English lessons interesting
and easy to understand it. She is very patient in explaining English
problems to us and always makes sure to everyone understands. With
her help, my English has improved quickly.

<b>KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE </b>

Personal space is a term that refers to the distance we like to keep between ourselves and
other people. When someone we do not know well gets too close that we usually begin to feel
uncomfortable. If such a business colleague comes closer than 1.2 meters, the most common
response is to move away. Some interesting studies have been done in libraries. If strangers
will come too close, many people get up and leave the building, others use to different methods
such as turning their back on the intruder. Living in cities has made people to develop new skills
for dealing with situations where they are very close to strangers. Most people on so crowded
trains try not to look at strangers; they avoid skin contract, and apologize if hands touch by a

mistake. People use newspapers as a barrier between themselves and other people, and if they
do not have one, they stare into the distance, making sure they are not looking into anyone’s
eyes.

Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause disease in

animals. In addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, a greater numbers of wild
birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness. Some scientists

conclude that a large family of influenza virus may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group
that has been on earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the
disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strain are transmitted from place
to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds. It is known that two influenza

viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such
recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises the
possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower
animal to produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way
major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may
recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.

1. According to the passage, scientists have discovered that influenza viruses ______.
A. cause ill health in wild animals B. do not always cause symptoms in birds

C. are rarely present in wild birds D. change when transmitted from animals to man
2. What is known about the influenza virus?

A. It was first found in a group of very old birds. B. All the different strains can be found in wild
birds.

C. It existed over 100 million years ago. D. It can survive in many different places.

Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the
land. Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as
pillars. Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth. Still others lived in
the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant
amphibians swam.

A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or seeds.
Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and
produced seeds. Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today

completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants. Traces of these floras of the earliest
times have been preserved in the form of fossils. Such traces are most commonly found in
shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds. Today only tropical forests bear living

proof of the ancient greatness of ferns. The species that grow there are no longer those of the
Carboniferous period, but their variety and vast numbers, and the great size of some, remind us
of the time when ferns ruled the plant kingdom.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Plant reproduction B. How to locate fossils
C. An ancient form of plant life D. Tropical plant life
2. The word “Others” refers to _________.

A. plants B. pillars C. trees D. fronds

3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of the plants described in the
passage?

A. They once spread over large areas of land.
B. They varied greatly in size.

C. They coexisted with amphibians, mosses, and horsetails.
D. They clung to tree trunks and bushes for support.

4. The word “true” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. accurate B. genuine C. straight D. dependable

5. The author states that fossils of early plant life are usually found in rocks located between
deposits of _______.

<b>IV. Read the passage carefully then fill in the blank a suitable word. </b>

As swimming became a popular recreation in England during the 1860s and 1870s, several (1)

football (or soccer), water rugby, water handball, and water polo, in which players rode on

The Scottish game, which emphasized swimming speed, passing, and (9) ______ work, spread
to England during the early 1880s, to Hungary in 1889, to Austria and Germany in 1894, to
France in 1895, and (10) ______ Belgium in 1900. Water polo was the first team sport added to
